to toss my two cents in:

performance doesn't seem to be terrible for me, but then i'm not hammering it
real hard, it's the the connection that X uses to remote display to my laptop.

however, i do get one of these every couple of minutes:

Nov  4 06:32:13 zaphod /netbsd: mc0: collision error
Nov  4 06:32:13 zaphod /netbsd: mc0: lost carrier

and if i don't have the laptop running and plugged into the mac (cross-over
cable) the mac won't boot past getting mc0 online.
